Su Wei ignored these and continued, "His behavior may deceive the ignorant onlookers, but we all know what kind of black sesame bun he is and what kind of corrupt character he has inside. So there must be some special reason why he can go to the Xin family so regularly and without fail."
Feng Ming was almost amused by Su Wei's 'Black Sesame Bun'. They were obviously talking about such a serious matter, but Su Wei was forced to develop a sense of humor in order to please Feng Yuyun.
"Then what?"
Sure enough, Feng Yuyun was attracted by Su Wei's description.
"Let's not talk about that for now. First, let's discuss the current ownership of your family's assets. Before Xin Wei returned, almost everyone thought you three were gone, which meant the Xin family's vast business empire was without a leader. And how could such a large piece of fat meat not attract covetousness? Three years ago, I found out. Three years ago, as soon as the news of your family's death reached China, your Xin family relatives and your aunt, Queen Dongyao's sons, all came to fight for these assets."
Su Wei's expression turned a bit sad when he said this. It's true that drama comes from life. In his previous life, he was an ordinary person. He didn't believe it when he saw the TV dramas of wealthy families fighting for their inheritance. But in this life, when he saw the survey results in person, he really believed it. It was indeed poverty that limited his cognition.
The Xin family was not originally the richest family in Dongyao. At most, they could barely be considered in the top ten of the Mingcheng rich list. It was entirely thanks to the tragic death of Xin Wuta's father and Xin Wuta's aunt who is now the queen of Dongyao that they have grown step by step to their current size.
If you tell this story carefully, it can be regarded as an inspirational entrepreneurial drama in ancient times!
The Xin family has been doing business for generations. They started out as traveling merchants and then developed into small stalls and small storefronts. Then one storefront became two, two became four... and so on, and they slowly developed like this.
However, the Xin family has always had a problem with having offspring. They have few children, almost always only one, and the children are often sickly. Therefore, even though almost every generation of family members are talented and have a talent for business, the Xin family's wealth accumulation speed is very slow.
It wasn't until Xin Wu's father's generation that they had twins, a boy and a girl. Even better, the son, Xin Wu's father, not only had a talent for business but also a healthy body. The daughter, Xin Wu's aunt, was born with a beautiful face and was hailed as the most beautiful woman in Mingcheng from a young age.
When she grew up, Xin Wu's father took over the burden of his frail old father and made the Xin family's business empire flourish; and her aunt, because of her beauty, was famous in Mingcheng, and was favored by the current king who had just been named the crown prince. She was initially made a concubine, and later the main wife died young. She broke the curse of the Xin family's daughters having difficulty giving birth and gave birth to a boy, becoming the queen. For a time, the Xin family was the most powerful.
With the queen as their golden backer, the Xin family's business grew bigger and bigger; and the queen relied on the Xin family's financial support to win over the hearts of the people in the harem and firmly control the harem. If the Xin family had not been only interested in doing business, Dongyao would have been dominated by the foreign relatives long ago.
However, there were also some imperfections in Xin Wudie's life. It was still difficult for him to have children. He finally had Xin Wu in his old age and loved him like a treasure. He originally wanted to choose a good son-in-law to marry into the Xin family and inherit the family business. However, Xin Wu fell in love with Sheng Jicheng, an unpopular royal family member from a minister's family, so there was no hope for him to marry into the family.
Fortunately, Xin Wei was born at that time, and there was someone to carry on the family business. Xin Wu's father then thought of doing his best to help Sheng Jicheng, thinking that when his son-in-law became successful in the future, he would take good care of his daughter and support his younger brother. However, he did not expect such a tragic consequence.
When Su Wei said this, everyone felt a little reluctant and looked at Xin Wu, but Xin Wu did not seem sad at all. He just looked at Su Wei in shock.
"Xin Wu? What's wrong? Don't be sad. Su Wei didn't bring it up on purpose..."
Fengming was afraid that Xin Wu would not like Su Wei talking about her family affairs, so she thought about persuading him to make amends.
"Ah, no, no, these things are known to everyone. I just... just..."
Xin Wuqing shook his head to deny that he was neither angry nor sad.
"and you?"
Feng Yuyun asked Xin Wu with some hesitation and worry.
Xin Wu turned his gaze towards Su Wei. "Mr. Su, I used to only know that you have a strong news gathering ability. Many of our editorial department's news leads come from you. But today, I'm amazed. How do you know everything?"
Su Wei: "...I'm a little confused"
"Hahaha, Sister Xin Wu, you are so cute!"
Feng Yuyun was very happy to see the innocent, serious and curious expression on Xin Wu's face. She wanted to rush over and pinch Xin Wu's face, but Xin Wu asked her even more foolishly: "Ah, what? What's wrong with me? Am I not cute?"
"Sister, you are so cute."
Xin Wei understood what Feng Yuyun meant, and he also praised Xin Wu for being cute like a little adult. Xin Wu was really confused by the sudden praise.
Su Wei was distracted by the joke for a moment, but the shock caused by Xin Wu's sudden praise of his intelligence-gathering ability gradually faded. He explained to Xin Wu with a bit of amusement, "I don't know everything. What I know now is just information that everyone in Mingcheng knows, and it's easy to find out. But I have no idea about the relationship between Uncle Xin Jiu and your father. I still need you to answer this question for us."
"The relationship between my father and Uncle Nine?"
Xin Wu lowered his head and thought.
"I know, I know. Daddy and Uncle Nine have a really, really good relationship! Uncle Nine is very kind to my sister and me, and he even taught me boxing."
After all, Xiao Xinwei is old enough to remember things. Although he was young a few years ago, he always remembers some of the people he met.
"Yes, Uncle Jiu can be said to be the person father trusts the most."
Xin Wu looked at Xin Wei in agreement, but Su Wei was a little skeptical. One can only judge a person by his appearance but not his heart. Who knows what kind of person Uncle Jiu is, as he could betray Xin Wu's father so quickly.
Xin Wu saw the suspicion of Su Wei and the others, but did not explain. He just started to recall his memory of Uncle Jiu.
"As far as I know, Uncle Jiu is actually a well-known figure in the Daqing martial arts world. Because he offended an enemy, his wife, children and family were wiped out. After he avenged himself by killing his enemy's family, he was hunted down and fled to Dongyao. On the way, he was seriously injured and almost died. He happened to meet my father, who saved him. It can be said that my father saved his life. From then on, he stayed in our Xin family and became my father's personal bodyguard to repay his gratitude."
"Then do you know what his name was in Daqing?"
"I don't know, no one knows. He just asked us to call him Uncle Nine."
